The news of a new win32 supporting compiler spurred a new wave of Delphi renewals. Almost everyone was disappointed afterwards until Delphi2007 became a somewhat decent successor again. That is was caused the spike. Most companies I know that have tried 2005 downgraded again to D7 (in fact, not officially through a downgrade program). Actually, some of them are STILL using D7 at this moment. (11 years old)

The company I work at is still using Delphi 6. :) But I'm currently 
porting our whole software to Delphi 2007 (no, we don't want to fiddle 
around with Unicode-VCL :P ).
